To fight against the copies of the competition, Louis Vuitton has never ceased to develop the induction of its canvas

  • The first were gray Trianon
  • Striped woven canvas
  • The canvas with checkerboard stencils
  • The famous  woven LV monogram canvas
  • LV stencil canvas 
  • The plain Vuittonite canvas
  • LV PVC coated  canvas

These different manufacturing and typography ( Mark ) processes allow the canvases and therefore the luggage to be dated precisely .
